Old thread but I just saw it. I’m a fan of the 383. It’s what usually ends up being the best shooter in my 9mms, so I cast a fair amount of them. I only have a two cavity Saeco mould, so life...

Oh, and I looked up my thread over there on my cast bullet experiments in the Johnson. Skimming through it, I see I've done and learned a lot since, but the info is still fine....

Interesting muzzle threads. I'd have to doubt they are for a suppressor since suppressors only got popular in recent years. Johnsons were too valuable to modify by then.
Though stranger things...

I don't have my notes handy so can't share specifics right now, but mine functions with loads that won't function my Garands.
One important thing to note is the number of rounds in the magazine...

I'd like to see such a list. I'd add a single lube groove version of the 358480 to it.

Somewhere on the NRA site for it, they had a section for getting a scooter on site. I don't know any more than that, but it looks like they are available somehow or another.

I give the handle hinge a tap before opening the mold. I discovered this by accident with my 429303 when I got out of sequence with my pour-wait-open sprue plate-open handles-tap hinge procedure and...

Just as an FYI, FWIW, etc, my SCAR 17 seems to do OK with cast. I haven't really had a chance to do serious testing (I've only had it a few months) but I was trying cast in another rifle, had some...

I bought one a few years ago simply because the price was right. I didn't expect to keep it.
I kept it, and shoot it almost every range trip. It's no benchrest rifle, but does OK, considering. I...
I have ten or eleven moulds I've used with 9mms (mostly HiPowers) and the one that feeds slickest is the Saeco #115. It's a 125 RN, but more of a pointy RN than most. It is also one of the best...
Does anybody have one of these? I bought this mould over a year ago and still haven't got to shoot many from it. It looks to me like a fairly close copy of the 311284. I don't have a '284, but it...
Speaking of case ejection, one thing I noticed right away about my DE is the ejection consistency. They land in a tidy little circle. I could almost put a bucket down and catch them.
Maybe I am...
Ya know, there is a lot to that.
Their fans are similar in support of the cartridges.
I bought one of the new Deltas a couple of years ago. I've had two Glocks (20 and 29) and a S&W 1006, and like the DE best.
The 1006 was OK, but at the time, they had not been made in maybe...

I once read that powder makers test their powder in the guns they expect them to be primarily used in. In Herco's case (and I think that might have been the example used) they market it primarily as...

As per the original post's reference to crimping having an effect, that was where I made my biggest gains shooting cast in 9mm. Once I went real easy on the crimp, groups got a lot better. I didn't...
I have a 383 too. That's one of those moulds I always saw in the catalog every year and thought it looked interesting. It also looked like it had too much nose and oal for the bearing surface, and...
I have one in single cavity. I've only used it a little (maybe 300 cast) and shot fewer (maybe 100).
I tried a few loads in .223 to see if it would do anything with the 1-7 twist. That same...
